My bet would be the thing that looks like the EFT hotdog;
There is always the possibility this was added to the F.3 RHWR from a library given by the USA when they were looking to equip F-15 with a PD MAW but it didn’t go ahead and the library entry remained.
But 15J has J/APQ-1 there, which is MAWS IIRC
Ahh sweet I was looking for something like this.
But secret and nonexisting TEWS manual doesn’t show that antennas on scheme. WTF?
Yeah that’s super weird, the US F-15s have two of those while the Japanese one only has one and it’s supposed to be a MAWS as well as an electronic warfare suite? I’m not buying it, either the US F-15s have some kind of MAWS there as well or are missing some capability
US F15s currently don’t have MAWS
Even the F15EXs that have been delivered have the mounts for the MAWs but lack the actual MAWs
We’re trying to work out what an AN/ALQ-127 installation would look like and if it was ever mounted on an F-15 as opposed to the CMWS installations.
Aint ALQ/AN 127 like real old
Used on E3s and B-52Gs
1980’s tech yes. Replaced by AN/ALQ-153.
Are you sure they weren’t just plans/provisions for them?
It was in F-15A manual IIRC.
As far as I can tell the plan to install that on the F-15 was scrapped, and either way that is from WAY before the EPAWSS system, not related.

These guys. The Americans have missiles floating tech now. Maybe they found a patent on alien floating technology, and it was actually installed on the Golden Eagle, unlike AMBER
hard to get hyped about future US aircraft considering how bad amraams are modelled.
Does the Golden Eagle have AESA? I thought it was supposed to.
ofc lol thats literally the only thing it got besides bol
Well.
There is reason to hype… about F-22 and only if it gets significantly earlier than other 5th gen.
Like, with Su–35 for example.
It still will be inferior to current top dog(rafailure), but way better than current US options
I seriously expect the F-22 to be the best aircraft in the game, likely followed by either the Su-57 or the J-35, I lean towards the J-35 based on armament, perceived credibility of 5th gen technology, and information likely to be available in the near future as China releases more on it to really emphasise the credibility of Fujian and Type 004. I think then it will be followed by the J-20, then the F-35. Suspect the F-15EX will be irrelevant in that battlefield and EFT and Rafale only loosely relevant.
Can’t shoot at something you can’t see and I think we’re a long way off a comprehensive IRST interface redesign/buff for PIRATE and OSF, there isn’t enough on Legion to make it a factor and as far as I’d heard it imposed AoA restrictions on the F-15 airframe.
